    I am trying to use LUA files but can not open it up.

    This hack haves working LUA files and it contains pretty much everything.

    Whatever you do, don't post about it on the steam forums because they will ban you. Just temporarily remove your luas

    What is it that causes this issue? With any of the pirate perfections it loads up a black screen with an hour glass and just sits there. With anything else I get a "Steam must be running to play this game" error.

    I just found that it's because of the iphlpapi.dll file. Looks like they've started throwing the "Steam must be running to play this game" error when it detects that the iphlpapi.dll has been hooked into the process.

    Opt out of Steam Beta Updates that should fix it
